Charleston Vacation Rentals by owner – choose from one of our exclusive Charleston beach house rentals on the Isle of Palms.

Charleston, SC offers world-class cultural events, splendid restaurants, delightful shops and galleries, and a vibrant Old Market where artists carry on a centuries-old African tradition of basket weaving. A charelston beach house will put you in the middle of it all. And, there is no better place for vacation rentals in Charleston, SC than an Isle of Palms vacation rental.

Isle of Palms is a barrier island on the South Carolina coast, less than 20 minutes from Charleston. The island's average temperature from November to March is 57 degrees. The summer season from April to October averages 74 degrees. The average ocean temperature from May to September is 81 degrees.

Charleston is South Carolina’s oldest city. Steeples and spires of more than 175 churches dot the comparatively low skyline of what has been called the “Holy City”. Charleston’s fortifications have marked historical turning points. Fort Moultrie was the site of the first decisive patriot victory of the American Revolution, and Fort Sumter was the site of the first shots of the Civil War. No Charleston vacation would be complete without a trip to the City Market where you will find sweet-grass basket-weavers humming old spirituals and horse-drawn carriages giving visitors a tour of the city. After surviving three centuries of plagues, earthquakes, fires and hurricanes, including 1989’s devastating hurricane Hugo, Charleston remains a treasure trove of historic attractions.

Wild Dunes is nestled on the northern tip of Isle of Palms. The resort is a 1,600-acre private oceanfront paradise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway, featuring more than 2 miles of white sand beach. Wild Dunes is home to two championship golf courses and a tennis center ranked among the nations top ten. Enjoy the privacy of your Charleston beach house rental while also taking in some of the world’s best recreational facilities.
